Marginalized communities often become understandably preoccupied with a city's structured attempt to deem them disposable, making it difficult to see people experiencing the same suffering as potential comrades in struggle. In this Speaker Series, Stovall will lead us through an examination of the long fight of Black people in Chicago to claim their humanity and thrive while facing school closings, the destruction of public housing, and oppressive law enforcement -- all the while calling for a powerful movement against the displacement, disinvestment, and disposability of Chicago's Black population.
